Wenger can still be king, despite losing and not achieving! Mourinho blasts Arsenal boss

 

CHELSEA boss Jose Mourinho made yet another thinly veiled dig at Arsene Wenger ahead of Saturday evening's trip to Newcastle (5.30pm).

The subdued Portuguese tactician remained tight-lipped throughout his press conference, refusing to discuss a range of topics including Diego Costa's recent three-match suspension.
However, Mourinho couldn't resist taking aim at old foe Wenger, perhaps as retaliation for his earlier comments regarding Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri laying foundations at Stamford Bridge.


Mourinho made sure he didn't name the rival coach and when asked if he sympathised with under-pressure Toon manager Steve McClaren, he said: "In this country only one manager is not under pressure, every other manager is under pressure.
"[Manuel] Pellegrini, Brendan [Rodgers], Steve McClaren. We cannot lose matches, we cannot be below expectations. I have sympathy for all of them and they have sympathy for me because it is a difficult job.
"There is one for some reason outside that list but good for him."
When asked who he was referring to, Mourinho explained: "You know. He can speak about referees before and after, can push people in the technical areas, can cry in the morning, can cry in the afternoon, nothing happens.
"Doesn't achieve, keep his job, can still be the king, it is privilege."
